03 in 2026 — what's new

Malaysia’s 2026 iCaur 03 update brings local CKD assembly for the iWD while retaining the CBU model’s specification. The CKD iWD is quoted at RM129,880, with 279 PS and up to 418 km on the NEDC cycle. The 03 range continues with rear-wheel-drive 2WD and all-wheel-drive iWD versions. Reports point to a possible 03T range-extended derivative, but no Malaysian 03T specification is confirmed.

Which variant to buy

For most buyers, take the 2WD. It delivers the longer quoted 355 km range and costs RM10,000 less, while its 181 hp and rear-wheel drive suit those who do not need all-wheel drive. The iWD costs RM129,800 and adds AWD, 275 hp and a 69.77 kWh battery, but its stated range is 342 km. Pay more for traction and performance, not range.

iCaur 03 buyer's guides & reviews

Verdict

The iCaur 03’s two versions draw a clear line: the 2WD prioritises stated range, while the iWD adds AWD and 94 hp for RM10,000. Its entry price is above the Perodua QV-E, Seres 3, BYD Atto 2 and MG S5, matches the Aion Y Plus, and sits just below the Neta X. Buyers should weigh its drive layout and power against those alternatives rather than assume a lower-price advantage.
